Re: [Re: the cost of carrying routes]

egal requirements to "the bottom line". If a site is paying you for
transit,

there's a very strong *dis*incentive to take any action that would
prevent a

DDoS attack - the bottom line says the Right Thing is to install just
enough

traffic shaping so a DDoS won't melt *your* net, and bill for the
traffic. ;)



Not really true. I have to carry that traffic through my backbone and
in doing, the DDOS traffic might take out or affect other services such
as IP-VPNs (that would probably generate more money anyway).
